The next NFT market surge will likely stem from GameFi, driven by play-to-earn models, immersive blockchain games, and metaverse integration, with projects like Axie Infinity showing strong user retention and revenue (e.g., $1.3B in 2021). Art NFTs face saturation but retain value in high-profile collections (e.g., Beeple’s $69M sale) and fractional ownership models. GameFi’s interactive utility and broader adoption potential give it a stronger investment edge, while art NFTs appeal to niche, high-net-worth collectors.
